Image
Paperback or E-book format 358 pages Publisher: WestBow Press (December 2011) I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via booksneeze in exchange for an honest review. Synopsis: A faded picture sets in motion a perilous journey for five young men in 1962, who, with a twist of mystery and revelation not only encounter harrowing adventure in the forbidden Niagara Gorge, but are forced to confront the swirling illusions of the world and God—changing their lives forever. More than a simple tale of camaraderie and adventure, this is a fascinating tale rich in historical fact and stories of visitors journeying through Niagara on the underground railroad and the Devil’s Hole Massacre.  Journeys across America  is a kaleidoscope of adventure and history exploring the questions confronting people of all ages. My Review: Though the book had an interesting premise but I found it hard to get into. I also thought the author had a hard time with the voice of tee...

A Review of Proverbs Reconstructed by Gus Dallas

Image
E-book format Print: 303 pages Publisher: WestBow Press ( June 24,2011) Synopsis:  Proverbs- while an informative book of the Bible is at times not very user friendly. That's where Gus Dallas comes in, he takes the book and changes it in a way in which it is easier to understand so you can transform your mind and implement the wisdom contained within it's words. My Review: Proverbs is one of my favorite books of the Bible, it contains useful information for a person to apply to their life. However, I have had trouble understanding it at times. That's where Dallas comes in. I found the book started off slow but picked up after a while. Dallas uses language that is easy to understand so people can get the most from Proverb's wise words. A useful tool. I received a complimentary copy from the publisher through Booksneeze. I was not required to write a positive review.  Buy it here: WestBow Press     barnes and noble amazon   My Rati...
